Cloudless Dawn

  prism 
Light so clear my eyes must close part way. I heard, “Let there be light.” and I saw. My eyes fill with sweet tears, as joy fell this morning; after a shadowy night of charades, understanding flashed. There are times when we must apologize for those things that we have NOT done.

Armand? You make only the second person I've met with that name, the other is Armand Caffee of Henryville, IN. I had an uncle named Maurice Carl. He's in heaven.
